taking part in thereby becoming a part of a collective takes courage, or maybe esteem
because a collective is almost inevitably reductive i.e. the one or few shared cause(s). it eliminates the individuals and their nuances, which paradoxically add up to become the thing
it's discomforting
but maybe it's worth it, to become a collective, at least temporarily, for good, worthy causes
a collective is usually more powerful than an individual, isn't it?
further, it's not like you often take your own initiative anyways...! it's not like you are giving up your independence forever!
it's likely my pride obstructing - that i think am more complex and cautious and even better. bad pride. wrong pride.
or it's my lack of courage and self-doubt: i don't believe that i would be accepted as part of the group, because am a bit reserved and different - and everyone is different and unique really.
and, am i unable or at least unwilling to compromise, should the group actions contradict my personal values
the last one seems like the biggest reason - and pff i said am open
on what grounds in what way can i be so confident assertive of my values and believes that i cannot compromise?
perhaps the one value i hold fast onto is that everyone should always reflect and modify their opinions, and, those who don't deserve despise
at the extreme of this opinion of mine - everyone has no lasting opinions... not very constructive huh
useless
the above said -
i guess making mistakes are the right things to do; it's much better than inaction to avoid faults
so, join a collective and think, hate it love it or both, but defo join a collective because it's action and action is good.
so, after food or sex,
collective or individual?
am so for individual but i should try to move to collective (oosh!)
another good one asked was childhood or adulthood (thank you joan a new friend i met)
i have a new one too, a bit grim: cancer or dementia
